Stanley Meyer: His water fuel cell, Did it work? How did he die?

Stanley Meyer was a prolific American inventor in the late twentieth century. He was very famous for his Water fuel Cell invention. Meyer was part of a team that filed for hundreds, if not thousands, of patents while working for a local lab. Personally, Meyer is the owner of just over a dozen patents. Regardless, the local patent office respected Meyer so much that they allegedly approved anything with his name on its sight. Maybe that’s what happened when he filed for a patent for a water-fueled car.

Unfortunately, the revolutionary technology appeared to be too good to be true. Despite many scholars claiming the impressive vehicle’s authenticity, he was eventually sued and lost. While all signs pointed to the water-powered car being a hoax, something extraordinary occurred. Stanley Meyer died in a somewhat mysterious manner, sparking theories of foul play. Let’s get to know Staley Meyer more.

Stanley Meyer: Bio Summary

Stanley Meyer was born on August 24, 1940, in Columbus, Ohio, United States. He died on March 21, 1998, in Franklin County, Ohio, United States. How did Stanley Meyer die? we will answer that shortly.

Stanley Meyer had spent his entire life building solutions to everyday problems. He and his brother spent their spare time making trinkets and devices. His love of inventing continued into adulthood, and he made a career out of it. Unfortunately, the majority of his inventions had little impact on the world. His water fuel cell, on the other hand, was groundbreaking.

Stanley Meyer’s Water Powered Car

Meyer’s water fuel cell was designed to run solely on water. It worked by dissolving water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules. The oxygen was then expelled from the fuel cell, and the hydrogen was used as fuel. This was not novel technology. At the time of Stanely’s invention, devices that could break down water molecules had been around for nearly 100 years. Similarly, hydrogen-powered engines have been around for a long time. Stanley’s water-powered car, on the other hand, was the first to combine the two.

The mysterious death of Stanley Meyer

How did Stanley Myers die? It’s the 21st March 1998, the first day of spring, and four men are having lunch in a restaurant.

A waiter serves one of them some cranberry juice which he ordered. This man, immediately after the first sip, suddenly gets up as if he’s gone crazy, he holds his hands around his neck, loses his breath, runs out into the parking lot, collapses to the ground, and pronounces his last words “They poisoned me”.

Steve Robinette, the case’s lead detective, gathered the testimony of everyone in the parking lot. Stephen, one of the four people at the table, heard the words spoken words of his brother at the end of his life. Detective Steven Robinette isn’t one for drawn-out investigations.

He conducted a toxicology test, which yielded no significant results. He also spoke with the coroner, who attributed his death to a brain aneurysm, which was consistent with previous episodes of hypertension. He closed the case file in three months, sealed it with a colored elastic band, and wrote on the cover “death by natural causes.”

Many people believe Meyer was murdered because of what I’m doing to revolutionize the car world. Though according to the report, “no poison known to American science has been found” many believe may be the search for Stanley Meyer’s enemies should have gone beyond American soil.

Back in 1975 the effects of the Middle East oil embargo, which had also led to a crisis in the United States, were still considerable, with a significant drop in car sales.

After some months of hard work, he was able to perfect his water-powered engine, which he mounted on a dune buggy painted with the prominent writing “water powered car” and a call to his Christian faith, in order to communicate the spirit of protection and creation that animated his actions.

According to Stanley Meyer, his vehicle could travel 180 kilometers. With only 4 liters of water and no other materials. 45 kilometers on a liter of something that cost next to nothing must have sounded truly magical. And that’s when his problems started.

Stanely Meyer took his water-powered car on a cross-country tour after successfully outfitting a dune buggy with his water fuel cell. He went from college to college demonstrating the technology and looking for physics professors to validate his achievement. And he discovered them. Respected physics professors examined the water-powered car in the city after city and signed off on its legitimacy.

Many people argued that no one had ever really verified the actual operation of the engine, whether it was powered purely by water, and whether the patent or the project worked at all.

Despite the fact that many people thought his invention was a scam, An American court in 1996 also agreed, and he was forced to repay his investors after a lawsuit. However, he and his brother believed that he was being silenced due to the gravity of the revolutionary engine. Meyer’s fuel cell, if true, would destroy the oil industry. However, Stanley Meyer claims that all efforts to delegitimize his machine were funded by oil tycoons. Or, in the worst-case scenario, the United States government. According to PolitiFact, the Pentagon has no hand in the death of the inventor.

According to sources, Meyer refused to submit the car to the Fayette County Judge (Ohio), who concluded that the chemical and technological process “invented” by Meyer would not be revolutionary, even going so far as to call it trivial and that no evidence was provided that it could actually effectively power an automobile engine.

The Judge then issued his verdict, declaring that Meyer’s funds had been stolen through deception (“gross and egregious fraud”), and he was sentenced to return them to investors. This was no small financial or, perhaps, more importantly, honor pill to swallow for a man whose livelihood depended on his ingenuity. This was a very sad ending for someone who had claimed to be the savior of the complex equation of efficient automotive propulsion, environmental stewardship, and affordable power.

Stanley Meyer previously stated that he had been threatened numerous times by representatives from oil companies all over the world. He also claimed he had been offered the hyperbolic sum of a million dollars (some even say a billion dollars) to kill all evidence of his technology, and that he had refused.

Stanley Meyer’s brother, Stephen claimed that one week after Stanley’s death, unidentified people had stolen the Dune Buggy from Stanley’s garage, along with all of the inventor’s instruments, and that the vehicle had subsequently been found, but it is unclear under what circumstances and conditions.

It seems that in 2014, and therefore some sixteen years after the death of Stanley Meyer, the vehicle turned up in Canada (perhaps sold by his brother Stephen), now under the ownership of the Holbrook family (claimed to be old associates of Stanley), but nothing is known of it after that date.
